Hi, Yeah, I don't think there's any valid way to do this in XHTML without a lot of work. You could turn them into namespaced non-HTML XML elements as discussed here[1], but metadata content isn't valid everywhere, so that wouldn't be *quite* valid. (Might be valid *enough*.) My backup suggestion

Walter, Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck, because I don't think browsers retain processing instructions in the DOM. (Obviously if you were dealing with the original XML, that would be different.) At least, when I tried it, Firefox just completely dropped them and Chrome converted them int

That would work if I was grepping through the source, but I'm trying to pick this thing out of the DOM so I can hook onto it and add a visible element near it. I can't seem to find a way to access it there. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Walter On Apr 27, 2011, at 8:32 PM, kstubs wrote

Probably your best best is REGEX result = subject.match(/<\?[a-zA-Z0-9 :;]*\?>/img); result is an array of matches. So, result[0], result[1], and so on... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group. To post to this group,
